When Angeline noticed the sharp increase in her daughter’s weight, making her turn from a white swan to an ugly duckling, she could roughly guess what was troubling Baby Zetty.She walked over and pulled Baby Zetty into her arms gently.“Mommy.” Baby Zetty cried her heart out in her arms. “They all laughed at me and called me a beast! I don’t want to go to school anymore."Angeline’s tears rained down her face.She gently patted Baby Zetty's back and felt the child quivering. She could tell how helpless her daughter was feeling.“Okay, if you don’t want to go to school, then you don’t have to.” Education might be important to Angeline, but it was nothing compared to safeguarding her child’s dignity.Baby Zetty said, “Daddy won’t agree to it.”Angeline said, “I'll talk to him.”Baby Zetty complained in distress, “I don’t want to be like this either, Mommy, but I can’t stop myself from eating all the time or I'll be very, very unhappy.”Tears welled up in Angeline’s ethereal-loo
Jay guessed the answer immediately. “Was that a call from the madam?”Tempest nodded awkwardly, saying, “Sir Ares, Madam wants me to keep this a secret.”Jay looked startled. Angeline would rather share something with Tempest than tell him straight what the matter was? This left him feeling extremely downcast.“What did she say?" he asked with a dark expression.Tempest’s lips moved and he was about to say something when Jay suddenly waved at him. He said, “Forget it. Just go.”Tempest still decided to spill the beans in the end. “Madam wants me to go to Horizon Colors, the second floor of Building 5.”Jay was surprised.He had a property in Horizon Colors, so why did Angeline choose to rent the property next door?In the end, Tempest and Jay, who felt restless, came to Horizon Colors together.When Tempest entered Horizon Colors, Jay sat in the car and lit up a cigar gloomily.Soon, Angeline came out and walked straight to the Rolls-Royce. She aggressively yanked the car doo
Angeline was aware of this truth but unlike Jay, Angeline was not that principled. Angeline loved fantasizing and was filled with longing.“What if Finn falls in love with Baby Zetty one day?”“I watched Finn grow up, Angeline. Unlike Tempest and Storm, his character isn’t that easy to predict. Finn is rebellious to his core and has dreams and pursuits of his own. He has a different vision when it comes to love.“He dated once in college, hoping to start a family of his own as soon as possible and take pleasure in the comfort that a family could bring him… The age gap between him and Baby Zetty is just too huge. That introduces too many variables in their relationship. I want to protect my daughter, but I need to support Finn’s dream too.”Angeline stopped crying. “What about Baby Zetty?”Jay replied, “We may be devastated by Baby Zetty’s current predicament, but she’s the Ares family’s child, and the child of the Ares family has no right to remain a hothouse flower. Under the rav
After Baby Zetty dropped out of school, days seemed to drag on for Angeline.Jay looked at the cheerless Angeline and felt extremely heavy-hearted as well.He wished more than anyone for Baby Zetty to feel better, but what Baby Zetty had was a broken heart. To cure her broken heart, she needed to go back to the source, and that source was Finn.Jay would never bring himself to destroy Finn’s love in favor of his daughter.Angeline sat on the couch and stared grumpily at him. “Even if you refuse to separate Finn and Tammy, you should at least tell Finn the truth about Baby Zetty’s illness. Who knows, maybe Finn would be moved by Baby Zetty’s infatuation?” Jay said helplessly, “Angeline, Baby Zetty doesn’t need Finn’s pity.”Angeline and Jay had vastly different approaches when it came to handling Baby Zetty’s affair. Angeline was concerned only about her child’s wellbeing and was willing to try anything that could help her child.She had lost her sanity and was on the verge of b
“I can’t cancel it.”“Then just pretend that we’ve been there,” Angeline replied.Jay, “...”When one plot failed, one cooked up another.Jay looked at Josephine’s belly and said, “Josephine is about to give birth soon. Do you think you can make it back in time if you join the cast?”Angeline did not say a word, and Zayne retorted to Jay immediately.“You don’t want my sister to go out and work, do you? Selfish. You’re so selfish. You’re managing Grand Asia so well yourself but raised my sister in captivity, turning her into your private property…”Jay glared at Zayne with gloomy eyes. “Fools talk, cowards are silent, wise men listen.”Josephine chuckled. “Zayne, my brother isn’t stopping Sis Angeline from going to work. He just doesn’t want her to act with other men.”Josephine consoled Jay, saying, “Don’t worry, Brother. This is Angeline’s first time acting, so the director will just give her a small role. She won’t have scenes that involve emotional acting.”Jay was reliev
The director was dumbfounded when he laid eyes on Angeline. He immediately noticed her slim figure and ethereal beauty that made her resemble a flower that had just bloomed.After a very long time, the director teased Josephine, “This is the supporting actress you found me? Whether it’s her appearance or her elegance, this supporting actress is going to crush and suppress the lead completely.”Angeline smiled calmly. “If you think I’m not a suitable candidate, then that’s fine. I’ll just find another job.”The director was drawn to Angeline’s calm and casual temperament, saying, “What’s your name, young lady? You’re born to be an actress. Look, why don’t you go get changed and prepare for the audition? I’ll talk to the management afterward and make you the lead.”Angeline thought for a moment and replied, "J. Harts."J. Harts, as the name suggested, was derived from Jay’s sweetheart.Josephine's eyes widened as she gave Angeline a thumbs up. “That’s a pretty good stage name.”An
“I heard that you want the lead role?” The celebrity looked at Angeline smugly.Josephine knew who this was. This woman had been the star actress for the past two years. Rumor had it that she had a really strong backing, so even though her image made her unsuitable for the lead role, the management still pushed for her to become the lead nonetheless.Josephine said, "The director has made his decision, Luna. If you’re not happy with it, then you can always go to the director. Step aside.”Luna scowled at Josephine and her gaze then fell on her belly, a malicious glint exuding from her eyes.Alarm bells started ringing in Angeline’s head. She rushed over to stand in front of Josephine and said gently, “If you want the lead role, then take it. I have no intention of competing with you.”Luna sneered and said, “Guess you’re pretty sensible after all.”She stretched out her hand and ordered, "Give me the script."Angeline handed her the script, but Josephine angrily snatched it away
Not long after, Jay got wind of the news and rushed to Grand Asia Hospital. When he laid eyes on Angeline, who was anxiously waiting outside the delivery room, Jay sprinted over. "Angeline." When Angeline saw him, her worried expression immediately turned to guilt and self-blame. "Jaybie, it’s my bad. I shouldn't have asked Josie to accompany me to work..." Jay held Angeline's thin face in both his hands and said softly, "Angeline, don't blame yourself. Josie's due date is near, so she’ll be fine.” Angeline nodded. In the delivery room, Zayne stared at Josie whose face was distorted from the pain of childbirth. He had never seen such an ugly expression on Josie before, but at this moment, he could not be more in love with her. He felt that the Josie in front of him was the Josie who loved him the most. He held Josie's hand tightly as beads of sweat rolled off his forehead. It was as if he was the one who was giving birth to the baby. It almost seemed as though he coul
